We haven't setup a time yet for you to demo your project to me. There's
only today and tomorrow remaining to do this, and it's required to
participate in the CHPC. Are you planning on submitting? Can we setup
a time to show me your project?

Infrared light is shown in front of the surface of the screen, to illuminate objects on the screen but not interfere with the normal display. The table is roughly 3.5' x 2.5' x 3' in size, and comes with a powerful computer and audio interface: An all-in-one solution!
